The Three families Pass Monday Even.

CHICAGO. july II.

CHICAGO, July II.
A special to the News from Edinburg says
"Senator Frye and wife were quartered in
the Royal Hotel, here, two DAYS before Mr.
Blaine arrived. Senator Frye met Mr.
Blaine, Saturday, as he was stepping into a
carriage, and paused few moments to con-
verse with him, but no intimacy had subsst
ed between the families. They neither WIS.,
tied one another at their rooms nor went
sight seeing together, and Senator Frye spent
most of his time down stairs. He attended
none of the Carnegie ceremonies. He was
cheerful with both MIR. Blaine and Senator
Hale when he met theEt which was rarely.
Monday night, however, Mrs. Blaine and
Mrs. Hale met Senator Frye in the rotunda
a. they were returning to their apartments
from the coffee room and bore him off with
them up stairs. The three families gath
cred in one of Mr.. Blaine, parlors and there

Grave Offences.
MONTREAL. July IL.

MONTREAL, July IL.
Several months ago the chairman of the
police committee made some grave charges
against the police patrol, and a sub commit
tee was appointed to make an investigation.
which has been dragging along ever since.
Last ght one of the members of the com

with information which implicated over a
third of the entire police force in offences so
serious that the committee had decided to lay
the whole matter before the CITY council, and
ask for the discharge of every man implicated
or the dsbandment of the whole force 1t is
hinted that the men have been guilty of rob.
berry and gross acts of immortality with the
female prisoners, Charges will be made

SHARP'S SENTENCE.
Judge Barrett Inclined to Make it Light
on Account of His Age and Poor Health.

New YORK, July IL.
w. J. Garfield, who was foreman of the
jury that convicted Jacob Sharp, has with
drawn his name from the petition asking
Judge Barrett not to sentence Sharp to i'm
prisonment but simply to fine him $4,000 He
says he signed the petition with the under
standing that all the jurors were to sign it
but that two of them refused to do so and
consequently he cancels his own signature.
He says that Judge Barrett has intimated to
him that he feels it his duty to sentence Sharp
to prison but on account of his age and health
it will be for very short term. Sharp today
was weak and ill and unable to take more
nourishment than a spoonful of milk. He is
to be sentenced tomorrow.
Jacob Sharp is still very sick man. 1t
was late when he got up today. He ate
nothing but drank little milk. This after
ternoon Judge Nelson, Drs. Hamilton and
Janeway called at the prison and held con-
sultation. They found Sharp still unable tc
dress. He was seated in an easy chair
These gentlemen say that Sharp is very i'll.

DOVER, n. H., July II.
Ruth Hannah Sykes, who has been lying
in the county Jail awaiting her trial at the
September term of the supreme court tor
larceny, was prominent il the Salvation
Army when it struck Dover three years ago.
She was concerned in several scrspes which
brought her before the police court When
arrested the last time she escaped from the
officers and jumped from the railroad bridge
ON Broadway, distance of twenty feet, and
was but slightly injured. 1t wonder she
was not killed. Yesterday a young man
named Thos. F. Gray, of New York City,
arrived here, settled the larceny case for her,
secured marriage license and they were
married today. They had been slightly &C.

THE YSTERY.
The Abatement of the Excitement Over
the Disaster.

CASARsIE, L. L., July 12
The excitement over the Mystery disaster
has materially abated in this village. The
removal of the bodies of the dead which was
recovered from their watery graves and the
absence of a large crowd Of relatives and
friends eff the missing persons and curiosity
seekers, contributed to the result. There
are. however, still many anxious watchers
by the water side awaiting the news or re-
covery of all that may be left of some dear
one. No bodies have yet been brought in
aud it is doubtful whether any more will be
recovered in this vicinity, the tide having
carried them out to sea. No more satisfact-
ory account Of the manner in which the ac-
cident occurred or the causes leading to it
has yet been obtained. There are those who
know the whole story, but they will not tell
it until the coroner's inquest is held.

DAvIS'S IMAGINATION.
HIS Assassination story Denied by the
War Governor of Pennsylvia.
NEW YORK, July II.

NEW ORk, July II,
The Herald today publishes an explicit de-
NAL by Hon. A. G. Curtin that he ever, while
governor of Pennsylvania, pardoned des-
perado with the understanding that he was to
seek the assassination of Jefferson Davis.
Mr.. Curtin says that Mr.. Davis must have
been imposed upon by some irresponsible
informant. The people of Pennsylvania de,
sired and employed only civilized methods of
warfare.
The Herald also points an interview with
General Roger A. Prior, saying that he never
heard of the attempts to assassinate Davis
and he doubts the genuineness of the letter
in which Davis appears to refer to such at
tempts.

for the assignment is the recent rapid decline
in the prices of prunes.

Meaning of the Word Zero.
4. Louis Globe emocrat.

st. Louis Globe. Democrat.
The Arctic i':ssts of the past week
or ten days h;t,e started g. discussion
as to the true meaning of the word

may be said to signify nothing. In
some arithmetics the naught is called
zero. The zel of the thermometer
men has a purely arbitrary meaning,
and stands for different degree
of temperature in different classes.
of thermometers. Fahrenheit sup
posed that he hit upon the true
zero point of temperature, or non.ex-
istence OF heat, by mixing snow and
salt, the point at which the mercury
stood in the tube being denominated
the zero point. The Fahrenheit ther-
mometric scale is the one most COM
monty used in the United States and
England. The zero point of the Gem
tigrade and of Reaumur's thermome
ters is thirty-two degrees higher than
that OF Fahrenheit, and is the Temporal
ture at which water freezes. In the scale
abovethe zero point there is difference
between the Centisrade and Reaumur
thermometers. The temperature OF
the boiling point of water is denoted
by 212 degrees on the Fahrenheit
scale. 100 degrees on the Centierade
scale, and 80 degrees on the Reaumur
scale. The Reaumur thermometer is
in most geneneral use in Germany and
Russia, and the Centigrade in France.
For scientific purposes the Centigrade
scale is in almost universal use
throughout tho world. These three
are the leading varieties of thermome.

From the London Figaro.
It would be interesting to see tabu-

have been made Tor keeping the
queens jubilee. What may be called
the jubilee year is already setting in
with considerable intensity, not only
in large cities, but in towns and even
villages, and it is curious to note the
variety of proposals which have been
put forward, embracing we'll. nigh every
conceivable project, from a system OF
complete drainage to a peoples park,
and from an almshouse to public
baths and washhouses. At some en-
terprising towns they are not content
with one or even two projects. At
Bridgewater, for instance, the schemes
include park, some public baths, q
chain of office for the mayor and a
statue of Admiral Robert Blake. At
Brighton popular opinion is in f;vor
of a plan which will transform the
western lawn into a winter garden by
roofing it in at 4 considerable height
with glass. At another town. will
not In pity mention the name-it is
positively proposed to celebrate the
suspicious occasion by the exceeding
ly prosaic plan OF laying down a
wooden pavement, and l should think
that the mayor and corporation
could not do better than to follow
Sidney Smiths advice and "put their
heads together" for the purpose.
